"Is he dead yet?" asked Piglet
"No", answered Pooh
"Fuck", said Piglet

There's no doubt that he needs to be removed but the real question is whether there is a way to remove him

If they can't even get the #EpsteinFiles released then reallistically what chance is there of removing the orange paedo from his position?

Tonight's #cheese board involves Pié d'Angloys, more Pié d'Angloys in case the first one runs out, parma ham, poppy and sesame seed crackers 🧀🐭

#LoveCheese

Pié d'Angloys cheese, parma ham, poppy and sesame seed crackers, all on a plate. The knife is under the packet of (nitrite-free) parma ham.

I've invented a new saying, 'as proud as a Frenchman making strawberry butter', which I'm sure you'll agree is a lovely churn of fraise.

Yes, still the odd sparkle of common sense amongst the barrage of insanity 👍

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

It would traditionally be meat and vegetables with very simple seasoning but (as you know) I'm all for fusion food, and culinary experimentation ❤️

Potato gratin does certainly sound unusual 😁

Cornish pasty and chips, innit!

Airfried cornish pasties. Baby corn with garlic and chives, served on a red cabbage leaf. Stirfried shredded red cabbage with ginger. McCain naked chips, airfried. Wifey subsequently put mayo on her chips/fries.

Sounds like politically correct 🐂💩 to me, Chris

Surely it's better to give them a new home, where they might potentially be used for entertainment purposes, rather than leaving them in a defunct amusement park?

Hard to tell where the flowery background ends and the dress begins 😆

Never sure with asymmetric but a positive reaction overall

Like the look of the armband but not sure how practical it would be in the real world

They have recently started offering an ultrasound treatment for it on the NHS, amazingly, but it was about £35,000 prior to that if we wanted to go private 😬

Dinner in this house tends to be looking at what odds and sods in the fridge need using up, often vegetables, then taking some source of protein out of the freezer to go with them

Here are a couple of wifey's recent culinary creations, conjured up while I've been out at work ❤️

#food #foodsky

Wholetail scampi. Boiled asparagus heads and spring onions. Jacket potatoes with blitzed feta cheese and coriander/cilantro. Wifey does amazing jacket potatoes by microwaving them then crisping them up in the airfryer. This time, instead of using rock salt on the potato crusts, she used za'atar seasoning instead.

Apologies for awful photo. Essential tremor makes my hands shake. Crispy battered chicken balls with Thai sweet chilli sauce on a bed of boiled spring greens/collard greens with feta cheese. Beef dripping roast potatoes.

Who would have guessed that two (extremely) wealthy South Africans could play such a major part in the collapse of democracy in the most powerful nation on the planet? 🤔

I certainly didn't... 🤷‍♂️
